American Love Affair

Chapter 33

*Flashback*

" Mommy can I wear my blue dress? Pweeeeease!" I begged my mom. It was my first semi formal and I was in 7th grade. I was going with my best friends Erin and Mariah. Yeah Luke's twin sister. My mom had curled my hair and did my eyeliner and mascara. I loved my blue dress but my mom wanted me to wear my white dress. " uh fine Phylicia." She finally gave in. I squealed.

I was mad and then every little thing that set me off made me like that. It's been like that for a long time and when I finally don't have to deal with it, people ruin it.
